I'm going to have to look that one up since if Erie and Ontario merge
that's a major event (not to mention Superior which is 150-200 meters
further above see level) since those two are connected by Niagara
Falls (which is about a 75 meter difference between top and bottom)

 
I did look it up.
 
If all ice melted, the Great Lakes would not be affected. Sea level
would rise about 230 feet, but Lake Ontario is at 246 feet, and is
the lowest.
 

IMHO, the "simpliest" way to make the Great Lakes one body of water
requires a big uplift downstream on the St. Lawrence river. There will
also would have to be lesser uplifts in Illinois (and possibly Ohio) to
include Lake Superior in the Great Inland Sea.
